"I need to find a legitimate telecommute (work at home) job right now! I'm going to lose my house! Help me please!" These bold statements look considerably familiar. With the economy the way it is now, I see these desperate words leaping off social media sites everywhere. And in truth, is it possible to find a telecommute job on the spot? In most cases, unfortunately, no. In others, some are just lucky at being in the right place at the right time. It takes real patience from a severely motivated person to find a legitimate home job.

Also being Internet savvy will certainly be in your favor. Some great places to actually start your search may be on home job search forums, Twitter, Blogs, and doing a search on Google.com (type in "work at home jobs" or "telecommute jobs")

One dozen tips to help make your search a little more productive
* Firstly, be fully aware that when seeking for a legitimate telecommute job, don't assume your work will be easy or there will be no effort on your part to earn money. Honest, hard work + job loyalty = profit.

* Know upfront that most online employers will request a resume from you.
* There are a few companies that will train you on the job, but very few. Make for sure you know

* Don't stop at submitting just a handful of resumes. Consistently applying without giving up will pay off. Keep submitting those resumes, and think positive
* Don't set out to apply for just one type of job, there are many options available to you (depending on your skill sets of course).
* Never be apprehensive about asking for assistance from time to time with your search. Message forums are excellent for job searching. The idea is to use proper forum etiquette network with others, and ask questions.
* Keep your eyes open for the work at home scams, and there are plenty of them out on the net. The number one sure sign of a scam is registration or start up fees, and they are usually the "data entry" ad hype you see everywhere. Don't take the famous saying lightly and never pay for work at home.
